BRMS? I've used it with Virtual.

Perhaps you're still thinking sequential and not random. If you start
thinking random what's to stop you from

/* Calculate day of week, and week of year via easy to use SQL functions
*/
/* Translate above to MONW01, MONW02, TUEW01, TUEW02 and so on... */
SAVLIB LIB(MYLIB) DEV(TAPVRT01) VOL(&TapeVol)
Don't like that? Perhaps of concerns about 53 week years? (Let's not go
down that tangent.) Then store last used into a data area and increment
it during the next save. Maybe even store some extra stuff in the data
area like date/time it was last backed up.
